blkio: Wait on sync-noidle queue even if rq_noidle = 1

Browse source 
o rq_noidle() is supposed to tell cfq that do not expect a request after this
  one, hence don't idle. But this does not seem to work very well. For example
  for direct random readers, rq_noidle = 1 but there is next request coming
  after this. Not idling, leads to a group not getting its share even if
  group_isolation=1.

o The right solution for this issue is to scan the higher layers and set
  right flag (WRITE_SYNC or WRITE_ODIRECT). For the time being, this single
  line fix helps. This should not have any significant impact when we are
  not using cgroups. I will later figure out IO paths in higher layer and
  fix it.
